Watching The Muppets is like watching one huge special effect. The Henson Company does such a good job bringing their characters to life that you forget they aren’t real. Most Wanted starts immediately after 2011’s The Muppets. The gang just finished their comeback and that leaves them…with nothing to do. While considering their options, they are approached by Dominic Badguy (Ricky Gervais) about doing a world tour.

Being a trusty lot, the gang agrees to Dominic booking their tour. What they don’t know is that he works for Constantine, the worlds most dangerous frog, who looks a whole lot like Kermit! In an epic scheme of kidnapping and mistaken identity, the Muppets are put on the hook for stealing the Queen of England’s jewels.

Most Wanted is a great follow up for the Muppets. Runs with what works so well, uses a large cast with some newcomers (Miss Piggy having a pet dog cracked me up for some reason) and the human cast is packed with big names. It looks like it was a blast to make and it shows.

Often very funny, Most Wanted is a great movie for everyone. Well made, well paced, and it’s got some more great numbers by Bret  McKenzie! Check it out!
